Is the directory mounted, or are you only using Nautilus to get it?
My suspicion is that Nautilus does some sort of user-friendly magic
that only works in Nautilus.  In KDE, it would be a KIO slave, but I'm
not sure what the Gnome equivalent is.  Anyway, you probably have to
explicitly mount the share to a directory, which you can have done
automatically if you add it to /etc/fstab.
